break in this territory is assuming serious
proportions. The widespread depredalions
indicate that there are many mofc than IL
bucks, as at first reported, on The war path
The whole country is fred with excitement,
and it is feared parties will organize to visit
the San Carlos reservation. In such an
event there will be great slaughter. Ad
vices are coming from all directions of out
RACES. Word comes from W. L. Leek, Of
Crittenden, that he aud two others were
aroused yesterday morning by several rife
shots and found they were surrounded by
Indians. Mike Grace one Of the party, an
old pioneer and highly esteemed and prom
inent citizen of Arizona Territory, was kill

through canon, pursued by tho savagos.
The people of Crttenden appealed to the
station agent at Nogales "for Gods sake

A courier reports that he ran into party Of
Indians and is now chasing them over the
hills. They seem to be making for tho Pat
! agonia mountains, and il is quito evident
that the hosties intend TO reach tho Sierra
Madre mountains. A telegram from Gala
basas 10 the Chief of Police mt Nogalcs says
the Indians fired upon McCullock'a ranch
and are on their way south. Another party,
it is reported, pushed southwest of Gala
basas. Juan Cenochio Commandant Of
Magdaena, has % mounted men who leave
to-day to try and intercept the indians at
the principal passes along the international
line. Frank Wallace, OF the Sonora Land
Company, arrived from the Montezuma dis
trict yesterday, and reports that all settlers
along the route who are likely to be exposed
have been notified by Governor Torres that
the Indians are out.
Tucson, A. T., June 9-Word was re-
ceivld here yesterday morning Of the killing
of Mike Grace and the narrow escape of
Billy Williams and Billy Lee from two
Apaches at Iompova Gnlcb, 90 miles eouth
OF Crittenden. The Indiana evidently sepa-
rated in parties, one of which is already in
Mexico. Their signal fires were seen in the
Santa Rita mountains Monday night. Lieut.
Johnson has orders to pursue them even
into Mexico. The Indians are probably
now between mis- troops and Capt. Lawton's.
Troops of picked men left Fort Apache
Tuesday night to try and head off the hos

Monday evening. Mike Grace, who was
killed last evening, is brother ofex Mayo
Grace, of New York.

separate people, marrying only amongst
themselves, so that the race Ia preserved

have no schooling, no means of betterlng
their existence, no one cumbers himself
about them, and they lead miserable ex

and lace of no questionable impression.
The dress was made upon gown form
with waist and skirt in one piece, to secure
eyen support of the weight from different
parts Of the body. The silk was laid on this
foundation in deep box peatings to form
the drapery of the skirt. a full mass Of
lace beginning at the upper part of the waist
hung loosely until reaching below the
waist line, being thence gathered back
at either side little lower than the
hip in the form of light folds ending in a
modest style of drapery at the back, undis.

Meath 10 harmony with the fashionable
arrangement of fancy sleeve, the upper por-
ton of that feature of the frock was draped
in lace, the wrist being finished with little
lace cuff turned neatly back.
A soft ruche of lace encrCled the fair
neck Of the wearer, with mosaic brooch
fastening the front of the waist-the only
ornament worn. The shining brown hair
was arranged in curling masses above an
attractive face, so beautifully attractive a,
to create wonder whether the dress had
any grace of its own or owed all to the
wearer.
The not very delightful name of legIettes
is given to the garments worn in lieu OF the
petticoat with this costume, the whole being
conceived as representing dress reform.
This ia made of surah silk, or wool. or
other fabric, according to to need or
fancy; its form is like that of Turkish
trousers. A jersey. fitting garment is worn
next to the body. which it covers from
neck to ankle, fitting every part with per.

formers is in flesh color of costly grade Of
silk. 1t has been affirmed by eye witnesses
among the reformers themselves that "a
woman is q perfect vision of LONELINESS"
when 80 arrayed.
Over this covering, which fits the perfect
shape of the body while yielding to every
movement, comes combination linen gar.
ment, designated the chemilette. This also
fits the body smoothly, in the form Of waist
and drawers in one piece, without binding
or band, which does not prevent lis adorn.

THE st. Paul Globe says: THE democrat

TUE ct Paul Globe says: "The democrat
;c narte is capable of making q nomina'
t;on to suit itself, without regard to whether
It ia Hill or Cleveland, or any body else
New York is q big State, with big elect
oral vote, but the democratic party is bigger
than New York" Rarely have more truth
and wisdom been condensed in fewer words
or been more timely. As the Southern
States supply nearly all the democratic
electoral votes, the democratic Presidential
nominee should by rights come from one Oh
tbo,o States; but the North is not yet SUN"
;ently pationalized to warrant the risk OF
putting that right to practical test. But
the West i, full of material for SOUND,
rrue blue, and old time democratic Presl
Dental nominee; and the next one should
come from that section. The democratic
party has not profted much, since the war
either by democratic Presidential candidates
or democratic Presidents from New YORK
and to select its next nominee from that
State would be suicidal, as, of the only TWO
possible ones from there, Cleveland could
not carry either the Tammany or the labor
vote, and the mugwumps would desert IN
body if Hill were selected.

AS EVIDENCE of the injurious effect the
Virginia debt question is having upon men
as well as things in the State, the GAZETTE,
two or three days ago, quoted from Phila-
delphia newspaper the objections that paper
urged to the appointment of distinguished
Virainisu to the Office of associate justice of
the q. s. Supreme Court, because he halls
from State that is trying to repudiate q
large portion of its public debt. That quota
ton was only fair sample of what is said
in the North on the subject referred to. But
that the same ideas prevail in the South
also, is shown by the following extract from
a New Orleans paper: Hopes are high in
Virginia that the President will appoint to
the vacancy on the supreme bench an ultra
States rights man, in order that there
may be a reversal of the late decision by a
majority of one in favor of the Virginia
bondholders But it is not likely that
Cleveland will mama man in the interest
of reputation"

A CAT AND THE SNAKEs.-The ruins OF
the old Web barn, at the end of West Wal
nut street, which was set on fire by the
Brinmer gang of fire bugs and burned down
about five years ago, offers excellent harbor-
age for snakes, and the place now ia literally
overrnn with them. Mr.. Kautz, who now
lives on the place, has killed number.
some of them being black and copperheads.
A cat belonging to Mr.. Jacob Pontz, just
across the road has brought several into his
yard and deposited them in front of his
door, when they we're soon dispatched by
Mr.. PontZ One snake, measuring over
three feet, which was brought over by tue
cat, was found by young son OF Mr.. Pont2,
who took stick to kill it, but on his up
proach the snake at once showed fight, and
the boy concluded to call his father. linme.
diatey on his retiring the cat commenced
to purr, and the snake thrust its head he
tween the folds of the coil and seemed to en-
Joy the cats purring. The slightest ad.
vance, however, of MIR, Poniz would arouse
the snake and cause it to assume hostile
attitude. The snake was finally killed, and
since then it has been observed that the
cat exerts the same power over those that
have since been captured by it. The snakes
make no effort whatever to escape from The
cat, and Mr.. PontZ says he can't understand
how the Cat managed to draw such big
snakes across the road. 1t is remarkable
that no one has been bitten, as the place is
a general resort for the children in the
neghborhood A party of boys who crossed
the place on Sunday found and killed -four
large snakes, all within few feet of each
other.-LancaSter Examiner.

SOME VIRGINIANs now say that the per-
sistent efforts Of the States creditors TO
make her receive her own coupons in pay
ment of taxes is provoking, and tends to in
duce her TO repudiate the whole of her debt.
Would any of the Vifginians referred to,
holding the note of neighbor for hum
dred dollars, but owing him three dollars,
think he would provoke that neighbor and
induce him to repudiate the note by asking
permission to credit it with the amount OF
the debt? But what the creditors are do
ing is not even as provoking as such mild
REQUEST would be; for while it would not be
provided in the note that small dsbts due
by the holder to the drawer should be cred.
tied thereon, it is provided 10 the Virginia
bonds that the coupons of those bonds shall
be received in payment of debts due Vir.
ginia. The way the subject of the Virginia
debt is treated by some Virginians who talk
and write nationally, at least, on some other
subjects, is more than passing strange.
